"Trestman, I think, first off, the issue that he had, probably, was managing us all, all the different personalities," Bennett said. "There's a lot of big personalities (in the locker room). And I think, for a first-time head coach in the NFL, dealing with all the personalities that you have, I think that's hard when you got guys like me, you know, (Brandon) Marshall ... Lance Briggs on defense, (Charles) Tillman.

"There's so many guys with such outgoing personalities that managing those guys and bringing them all together is what a leader needs to do, you know? And that's one of the toughest things."

Although Trestman was fired in late December, he wasn't out of work for long, landing the job as the Ravens offensive coordinator after Gary Kubiak left to become the Broncos coach. Bennett believes Trestman will have success in his new role.

"Calling plays, he was excellent," Bennett said. "I think he's going to be an excellent coordinator for the Ravens. Strategically, he was great. But on the field, guys just weren't executing.

"A lot of it comes back to the player preparation. If you're not preparing to a high level, then the coaches can only do so much; the game's not played on paper, it's played on grass. On paper, we look great. On grass, we looked bad."

Bennett had the best season of his career in 2014. He totaled 90 catches for 916 yards and five touchdowns -- all career highs -- in 16 games.

Bears TE Bennett does heavy lifting; WR Jeffery held in check

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(12/28/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett did most of the heavy lifting in the aerial attack, while wide receiver Alshon Jeffery was held in check in Sunday's season finale against Minnesota.

Bennett led the way with eight catches for 59 yards on 11 targets. He finishes the season with 90 catches for 916 yards and six scores. Jeffery caught only two of five passes thrown in his direction for 34 yards in a 13-9 defeat. He turned 145 targets into 85 catches for 1,133 yards and a career-best 10 touchdowns.

Bears TE Bennett gains nothing in Sunday defeat

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(12/21/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett had not been blanked in terms of yardage since Dec. 4, 2011. That is, until Sunday.

Bennett was targeted just three times and caught only one pass for no yards in the defeat to Detroit.

He still needs 143 yards in Week 17 at Minnesota to hit 1,000 for the season.

Martellus Bennett slows down a bit in loss

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

(12/16/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett came tumbling back down to Earth in Week 15, as the Saints held him to just three catches in a loss.

Bennett, who had 193 yards on 20 catches with a touchdown in his previous two games, was a victim of Jay Cutler's struggles Monday. He had just four catches for 36 yards, and was targeted only six times, his lowest total in four games, though he did haul in a two-point conversion to add some extra value.

Bennett came out of the gates red hot this season, scoring four touchdowns in the first three games, but has just two in 11 games since. Still, he is the team's No. 2 receiver at this point, now that Brandon Marshall is down. He's got solid enough matchup in Week 16, against a Bears team he had 109 yards against three weeks ago, so keep him active in all Fantasy formats even after his disappointing showing Monday.

Bears TE Martellus Bennett held to 36 yards

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/16/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett was a victim of Chicago's offensive futility Monday night. He caught four of six targets for 36 yards in the 31-15 loss to the Saints, marking the fourth time in the past six games he's been held under 50 yards.

Bennett plays the Lions on Sunday.

Bennett wound up being Jay Cutler's go-to target with Brandon Marshall sidelined. Marshall left the contest in the second quarter, giving Bennett a larger role in the passing game. He finished with 84 yards and a score. Bennett's touchdown actually came with Marshall still in the game. In the first quarter, he hauled in a 12 yard score against his former team. With the performance, Bennett broke the Bears single season record for receptions by a tight end.

Bears TE Martellus Bennett has second career 100-yard game

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/27/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett had his second career 100-yard receiving game during a 34-17 loss Thursday at Detroit. Bennett, who was targeted 11 times, finished with eight catches for a team-high 109 yards.

Both of Bennett's 100-yard games have come in 2014. He had a career-high 134 yards Week 4 against the Packers.

He needs one more touchdown to set a single season career high with six. However, after totaling four touchdowns in his first three games, he has just one touchdown over his last nine games.

The Bears are back in action Week 14 vs. Dallas.

Bears' Martellus Bennett leads receivers with 37 yards

Bennett gained 37 yards on four catches. The Bears offense was fairly limited, particularly in the passing game, which is how Bennett led the team with such a low total. He receiving a team-high seven targets during the contest.

Bears TE Martellus Bennett tallies two receptions in Week 10 loss

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

(11/10/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught just two of his six targets for 45 yards in his team's 55-14 loss to the Packers in Week 10.

Bennett was questionable to play due to a rib injury and made it into the lineup but was held to less than three receptions for the first time this season. The first pass to Bennett came on the team's second drive and was intercepted, setting the tone for the night. The tight end saw at least one target in each quarter, so the Bears didn't shy away from using him in a game that was out of hand by halftime. He'll look for a better result in Week 11 against the Vikings.

Bears TE Martellus Bennett active vs. Packers

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

Martellus Bennett reminds you to start him

by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

(10/26/2014)How many teams are in your league? For most of you, no fewer than 10. And how many of those teams start a tight end? All of them, right?

So then for the Bears' Martellus Bennett to sit in Fantasy, as happened in 33 percent of CBSSports.com leagues in Week 8, there would need to be 10 tight ends better than him.

How many do I count? Well, Julius Thomas for sure. Rob Gronkowski. I'll give you Jimmy Graham even with the injury. Greg Olsen is a safe call. Can't really dispute Antonio Gates with all those touchdowns. But then who? Delanie Walker? Larry Donnell? Dwayne Allen?

Even if I give you those three, which is a stretch, that brings the number to eight. So then why was Bennett sitting in one-third of CBSSports.com leagues for his six-catch, 95-yard, touchdown-scoring performance Week 8 at New England? You got me.

It probably had to do with him going four straight games without a touchdown, but he went for 134 yards in the first of those games and more than 50 in the last two. His only bad game was Week 5 at Carolina, when he had three catches for 17 yards, and his targets have remained high throughout.

I'm guessing when the Bears return from their bye in Week 10, he'll be nearly 100 percent started.

Bears TE Martellus Bennett turns in strong game Week 8

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(10/26/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett had a nice game Week 8 against the Patriots.

Bennett led the way for Chicago, picking up 95 yards on six receptions. Bennett's touchdown was probably the Bears best offensive play of the game. Bennett managed to hual in the score while falling to the ground. He not only was able to catch the ball, but also managed to make sure it didn't touch the ground during the catch.

Bennett is on a bye Week 9.

Bostic, Briggs doubtful but most Bears probable for Pats

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(10/24/2014)Aside from safety Danny McCray (knee), who has been ruled out, and doubtful linebackers Jon Bostic (back) and Lance Briggs (ribs), the Bears are in good shape heading into their Sunday game at New England.

The only other Bear not listed as probable on their Friday injury report is tackle Jordan Mills (foot), who is questionable. The probables are wideout Wallace Williams (illness), safety Chris Conte (shoulder), tight end Martellus Bennett (hamstring) and cornerback Kyle Fuller (hip).

Bears TE Martellus Bennett held to 58 yards in Week 8 defeat

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(10/19/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett was held under 60 receiving yards for the fifth time this season in a Week 7 home loss to Miami on Sunday.

Bennett came down with three of his five receptions when the game was well out of hand on the final drive. One of those grabs went for 21 yards, his longest gain of the afternoon. He was targeted eight times and finished with 58 yards in a 27-14 defeat. He has 422 receiving yards on the year.

Bennett and the Bears will look to get back on track Week 8 at New England.

Martellus Bennett still a steady, reliable option

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

(10/19/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett had the look of an elite option at the position early in the season, but has been unable to keep up the pace. However, as he showed yet again in Week 7 against the Dolphins, he can still do enough to be a worthwhile option for most Fantasy owners.

Bennett had double figures in Fantasy scoring in each of his first four games, but has settled in for five in each of the last two. That isn't great, but he was still targeted eight times in each game and has posted just one game with less than five Fantasy points in seven games.

Bennett is by no mean's one of the best Fantasy tight ends around, but that doesn't mean he can't be consistently useful at a position where consistently useful options are at a premium. Keep him active heading into Week 8.

Martellus Bennett scores two-pointer in Week 6 win

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

(10/12/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught four of his eight targets for 52 yards and added a two-point conversion in his team's 27-13 win over the Falcons in Week 6.

Bennett's best play in the game came on a third-and-11 at the end of the third quarter, as the tight end picked up 25 yards to extend the team's final scoring drive, capped by a two-point conversion to Bennett to put the Bears up 14 points. He's up to 36 receptions and 364 yards to with four touchdowns, though he hasn't managed to catch a touchdown since grabbing two in Week 3. He'll try to get back in the TD column next week against the Dolphins.

Martellus Bennett deserves a mulligan

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

(10/5/2014)Okay, so Martellus Bennett's performance in Week 5 for the Bears was a bit of a letdown. After putting up double-digit Fantasy point games like clockwork through three weeks, he managed just three receptions for 17 yards Sunday against the Panthers, by far his worst performance of the season.

Bennett was targeted five times in the passing game, but the Panthers held him to just 17 yards on three receptions -- all three represent his lowest totals for the season. Of course, Bennett was playing over his head at least a bit through the first four games, averaging 13.0 Fantasy points per game, but that doesn't mean this is the new normal. This is taking regression to a whole other level, and it is likely little more than a bump in the road.

Bennett is the third, and sometimes fourth, option in the team's passing game, but has still had 42 passes thrown his way so far. Even with Sunday's dud, he remains one of the best tight end options around.

Tight ends pitch in for Bears in Week 5 defeat

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(10/5/2014)Tight ends Martellus Bennett and Dante Rosario led a small contingent of Bears that played a role in their Sunday loss to Carolina. Both caught three passes - the former for 17 yards and the latter for 20.

Also catching a pass was veteran Santonio Holmes for six yards. Running back Ka'Deem Carey put himself in the score sheet with two carries for two yards.

The verdict is in on Martellus Bennett

by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

(9/28/2014)Just when you think tight end Martellus Bennett can't get any better, he goes and leads the Bears in all the most relevant categories Week 4 against Green Bay, including receptions (nine), targets (11) and yards (134).

No, he didn't find the end zone after scoring four touchdowns in his first three games (though he came painfully close to end the first half, getting spun around as he tried to extend his arm over the goal line at the end of an 8-yard pass), but isn't this the strongest endorsement of his value yet? In a receiving corps that includes Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, he's become quarterback Jay Cutler's go-to guy.

Not by a landslide or anything, but it's the kind of offense that can sustain three big-time receivers. And with Bennett performing at a Jimmy Graham-like pace, he can afford to fall off a little and still be one of the top tight ends in Fantasy.

So while I'm not expecting Bennett to be quite this good all season long, unless I honestly thought I could get the equivalent of second-round value in return for him, I wouldn't be looking to sell high on him.

Martellus Bennett secures first 100-yard game in defeat

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(9/28/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett used an explosive second quarter as a springboard to a career game Sunday against Green Bay.

Bennett snagged five passes for 91 yards in that stanza alone in recording the first 100-yard performance of his career. He finished with nine catches for a game-high 134 yards. Bennett was targeted 11 times, but did not work his way into the end zone.

He will try to do just that when the team plays at Carolina in Week 5.

Martellus Bennett makes history

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(9/23/2014)Tight end Martellus Bennett caught a pair of touchdowns in the Week 3 win over the Jets, becoming the first Bears player with a touchdown grab in each of the team's first three games since Dennis McKinnon did it in 1985.

Bennett has four touchdowns this season after scoring five each of the past two seasons. Monday night, he caught five passes for 54 yards, including 7- and 13-yard touchdowns.

His eight targets ranked second on the team. Bennett will try to build on his fast start Week 4 against the Packers.

Martellus Bennett a good Week 3 start

by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer

(9/18/2014)Martellus Bennett is off to a stellar start through his first two games with 15 catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets.

He is second on the team in targets to Marshall (20) and the Bears have done a nice job featuring Bennett in the early part of the year. We hope it continues this week against a suspect Jets secondary.

The Jets haven't faced a tight end of note yet with matchups against the Raiders and Packers, but last year New York allowed seven touchdowns to opposing tight ends. There were nine tight ends against the Jets last year that had at least six targets and eight of them finished with at least eight Fantasy points in a standard league.

Bennett has at least six targets in five of his past six games going back to last season.

Martellus Bennett scores again

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(9/15/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett scored for the second straight week Sunday night at San Francisco. Bennett hauled in seven of eight targets for 37 yards, including an easy 3-yard score to put Chicago ahead with 13:14 remaining.

Bennett, who tied for the team lead in targets, visits the Jets on Monday Night Football in Week 3.

Martellus Bennett scores TD on eight receptions Sunday

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

(9/7/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett grabbed eight passes for 70 yards and a touchdown in his team's 23-20 overtime loss to the Bills Sunday.

Bennett opened the scoring by hauling in a 12-yard touchdown on his team's first offensive drive, with the score coming on a pitch-and-catch after a big gain by Alshon Jeffery. He remained involved throughout the game with the Bears finding room to work in the middle of the field. Bennett also may have benefited from the absence of Jeffery for much of the second half. He'll look for a similar result when the Bears head to San Francisco in Week 2.

Martellus Bennett worth starting in Week 1

by R.J. White | CBSSports.com

(9/2/2014)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett posted career-best numbers in 2013, catching 65 passes for 759 yards while matching his career high of five touchdowns. Three of those five scores came in the first two weeks of the season, and he could be on the verge of starting off hot for the third straight season.

Bennett is in danger of getting lost offensively on a week-to-week basis, as there are only so many opportunities to go around for Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte and the tight end. He faces a plus matchup in Week 1, with the Bills dealing with a depleted linebacker corps and the loss of free safety Jairus Byrd. While the one thing new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's defense did well in Detroit last year was defend the tight end, the Bills don't appear to have the personnel to match up with the imposing Bennett.

Bennett falls inside the top 12 in the weekly rankings of both CBSSports.con Fantasy experts, designating him as starter material in standard leagues. We could see a similar line to his opener against the Bengals last season: three receptions, 49 yards and one touchdown.

Bears reinstate Martellus Bennett

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(8/10/2014)The Bears reinstated tight end Martellus Bennett from his suspension, reports ESPN.com. Bennett got suspended last Tuesday following a practice fight in which he slammed first-round pick Kyle Fuller to the ground.

"I understand what they want from me," Bennett said. "I felt like I could've handled the situation differently."

Martellus Bennett not ruled out for preseason opener

(8/6/2014)Bears coach Marc Trestman spoke to suspended tight end Martellus Bennett and called the conversation "very positive," adding Bennett hasn't been ruled out for Friday's preseason opener against the Eagles, reports ESPN.com.

"It was a very positive conversation," Trestman said. "We touched base with each other, and I'll just leave it at that. We did what we said we were gonna do, and that was talk yesterday."

Bennettt got suspended indefinitely following a practice fight in which he slammed first-round pick Kyle Fuller to the ground after a routine play, the report said. According to team sources, Bennett's suspension stemmed from an accumulation of incidents, not just the fight.

Bennett got into a fight with rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller during training camp practice on Monday when Fuller pulled Bennett to the ground after a reception. Bennett got up and shoved Fuller, then threw him to the ground according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Bears head coach Marc Trestman cancelled practice after the skirmish.

Later Monday, Bennett didn't seem remorseful for his actions, telling the media he'd be willing to pay a fine even if he didn't think his actions warranted one.

"I'm probably one of the most violent people on the field. That's my style of play," Bennett said. "I'm going to continue to play the way I play."

Several role players chip in for Bears

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(12/29/2013)The Bears received minor contributions from several role players during Sunday's loss to the Packers in Week 17.

Backup running back Michael Bush rushed for 11 yards on two carries. Tight end Martellus Bennett caught his only target for 15 yards while Marquess Wilson caught just one pass for a gain of 10 yards. It was Wilson's second reception of the season.

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/22/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught five passes for a team-high 85 yards in the loss to the Eagles, his third solid game in succession. Bennett has 16 catches for 199 yards over the past three weeks.

Bennett drew eight targets, one fewer than Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery. Bennett's longest reception went 30 yards. However, he has not scored since Week 12.

Bennett plays the Packers in Week 17.

Martellus Bennett too risky to start

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/17/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett has one touchdown catch in his last seven games entering Week 16 at Philadelphia. The matchup is not kind, either, as the Eagles give up the fourth fewest Fantasy points (5.7 per game) to tight ends.

Tight ends have scored just twice against Philly, and have been held under 50 receiving yards as a group nine times.

Bennett is coming off one of his better games. He caught all six of his targets for 71 yards, his highest yardage total since Week 4, in the win at Cleveland. But he's too risky to start in Fantasy's championship week unless you play in a two-tight end league.

Martellus Bennett has 71 yards in Week 15 win

by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer

(12/15/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught six passes for 71 yards in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Browns. Bennett was targeted six times and lost a fumble in the third quarter (which was run back for a touchdown).

The 71 receiving yards were the third-most of the season for Bennett, and his most since Week 4. He now has 659 receiving yards on the season -- a career high.

The Bears face the Eagles in Week 16.

Martellus Bennett an unreliable option

by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer

(12/10/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett has been a different player since the team's Week 8 bye. Prior to the break, Bennett had five games of six or more Fantasy points, with two double-digit games and four touchdowns.

Since the bye, however, Bennett has just one game with six or more points, and has scored just once. His Week 15 matchup against the Browns brings with it some hope, but so did his Week 13 matchup against the Vikings (when he finished with 14 total yards).

The Browns have allowed four touchdowns over the last four games to opposing tight ends, but haven't given up 50 yards to the position since Week 7. Additionally, the Browns have allowed their touchdowns in bunches; the eight touchdowns tight ends have scored against the Browns this season have come in just four games.

Bennett started the season strong, but has faded lately. Even with a somewhat promising matchup, he's still best left on the bench in most formats.

Martellus Bennett makes five grabs

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/10/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught five of his six targets for 43 yards in the win over the Cowboys. Bennett hadn't made that many receptions since Week 6 when he hauled in six passes for 68 yards against the Giants.

Martellus Bennett has chance for bounceback

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(12/4/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett has 13 targets over the past three games, and he was held to two catches for 14 yards in Week 13. But Bennett is playable because of his matchup Monday night.

The Cowboys give up the 8th-most Fantasy points to tight ends, 9.0 per game. Tight ends are averaging 5.8 catches for 66 yards with six touchdowns vs. Dallas.

Drafted by the Cowboys, Bennett spent his first four seasons in Dallas. He faced the Cowboys last year as a member of the Giants, catching eight passes for 69 yards and a touchdown in two meetings.

Bennett has slumped after a strong start. He's not a thrilling option. Consider him a low-end TE1 in Week 14.

Martellus Bennett disappears from passing game after halftime

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(12/1/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett was held to two catches for 14 yards Week 13 at Minnesota. He was targeted five times in the 23-20 overtime loss.

Bennett had an 8-yard catch in the first half called back because of offensive pass interference. He also limped off the field with an apparent leg injury in the first half, but he missed only one play before returning. All of Bennett's yards and targets came before halftime.

The Bears are back in action Week 14 vs. Dallas.

Week 13 presents opportunity to start Martellus Bennett

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(11/27/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett had the first multi-touchdown game of his career Week 2 against the Vikings. Unfortunately, he has scored just two touchdowns in his last nine games heading into a Week 13 rematch with Minnesota.

Bennett did have a touchdown Week 12 at St. Louis, but he's been relatively quiet since posting three touchdowns in his first two games. He got off to a fast start last season with the Giants before cooling off, which is a trend he's following in 2013 with the Bears.

Tight ends have put up decent numbers against the Vikings. They average 55.1 receiving yards and have totaled nine touchdowns in 11 games. Tight ends also average 9.7 Fantasy points per week, which is the fifth-highest average.

Bennett is far from being a reliable Fantasy option on a weekly basis. He's good enough to start in the weeks he has favorable matchups, like Week 13. Therefore, he can be considered a low-end Fantasy start this week.

Martellus Bennett scores in Week 12

by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer

(11/24/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught four passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Rams. Bennett was targeted five times in the game.

Bennett could have had a bigger presence in the box score, but a fourth-quarter would-be touchdown was called back for holding.

This was Bennett's first touchdown since Week 7, and his first game with over 50 receiving yards since Week 6. Bennett's score was the first the Rams allowed to a tight end since Week 4.

The Bears travel to Minnesota to face the Vikings next Sunday.

Martellus Bennett has tough Week 12 matchup

by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer

(11/21/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett hasn't hit the 50-yard mark since Week 6 against the Giants. He has one touchdown in his last eight games. And in Week 12, he plays a team that has allowed the second-fewest Fantasy points per game to oposing tight ends.

On the season, the Rams have allowed just two touchdowns to tight ends, and both came in the first four weeks. Since then, no tight end has gone over 50 yards or scored on the Rams, and the list includes solid mid-level options like Garrett Graham, Greg Olsen, and Delanie Walker.

Bennett has been relatively cold lately and is staring down a tough matchup. He can be left on the bench in most formats.

Martellus Bennett quiet against Ravens

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(11/17/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett had a quiet game Week 11 against the Ravens.

Bennett did little during regulation, catching just one pass for 5 yards. He did receive a target in the end zone, but the ball hit the ground when he came down. The play wouldn't have counted even if Bennett had caught the ball, as the Bears were called for holding. Bennett did manage to come through with a big play during over time, though.

(11/14/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett did not practice Thurday due to an ankle injury.

Martellus Bennett looking to get back on track

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(11/14/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett is looking to get back on track after a rough Week 10.

Bennett will face off against the Ravens Week 11. The team has been vulnerable against the tight end, allowing them to go for 8.11 Fantasy points per game. That ties them as the 20th worst team against tight ends. They've allowed 16 touchdowns through the air, four of which have gone to opposing tight ends.

Bennett has been somewhat underutilized by Josh McCown. Against Washington, McCown targeted Bennett twice, though his only catch was a 7 yard touchdown. With Jay Cutler in the lineup, Bennett only received one target, so it may have been a case of Washinton doing a good job on Bennett. The following week, Bennett was targeted eight times by McCown. And on the final drive against the Lions, Bennett saw one target from McCown. Bennett has proven to be a useful weapon for Chicago, but he's the third or fourth option at best when McCown enters the game. The team initially relied on Bennett quite a bit in the red zone, but the emergence of Alshon Jeffery has given the team three huge weapons. Bennett has a decent matchup, but could be overshadowed by the team's receivers.

Martellus Bennett can't get going in loss to Lions

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(11/10/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett failed to get going during Sunday's loss to the Lions in Week 10.

Bennett nearly had a chance to make up for his lackluster performance with a touchown. He was targeted in the end zone, but Jay Cutler’s pass was tipped by Ndamukong Suh and picked off in the end zone by DeAndre Levy in the second quarter. He was targeted six times and finished with four catches for 29 yards (7.3 yards per catch) in a 21-19 defeat.

Bennett has been held under 40 yards in each of his last three games. He has 40 receptions for 421 yards and four touchdowns this season. He'll look for a bounce-back performance at home in Week 11 against the Ravens.

Martellus Bennett seeking bounce-back game

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(11/9/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett is seeking to get back on track heading into Week 10 at home against the Lions.

After starting the season with three touchdowns in two games, Bennett has cooled off with only one score over his next six contests, averaging 44.5 yards per game over that span. Bennett was the only tight end to rack up more than 65 receiving yards in a game against the Lions. He caught eight of the 12 passes thrown his way for 90 yards in his previous meeting against Detroit in Week 4. Opposing tight ends have averaged only 6.75 Fantasy points per game against the Lions this season.

Even with Jay Cutler back under center, this may not be the best matchup for Bennett. If possible, Fantasy owners should seek better options for Week 10. Our Fantasy experts have Bennett barely cracking the Top 10 in rankings this week. Consider him a worthy option in most formats.

Martellus Bennett makes four catches

Martellus Bennett staring at great matchup

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(10/29/2013)Chicago's Martellus Bennett is tied for fifth among Fantasy tight ends heading into Week 9 at Green Bay. Having rested his knee over the bye, he returns to a great matchup.

The Packers give up the third-most Fantasy points to tight ends, 11.0 per game. They've yielded five touchdowns in seven games to the position. Tight ends average 6.1 catches for 70.7 yards against Green Bay.

Bennett doesn't have a good track record against the Packers. In four previous meetings, he's caught eight passes for 107 yards and no touchdowns. Despite that history, consider Bennett a solid TE1 Monday night.

Martellus Bennett's lone catch goes for score

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

(10/20/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught a touchdown pass late in the Week 7 game at Washington Sunday. Bennett's TD grab from Josh McCown came with under four minutes to play and gave the Bears a short-lived 41-38 lead in a 45-41 loss.

The touchdown was the only catch of the game for Bennett, who was targeted three times overall by McCown and Jay Cutler, who was injured earlier in the game.

Bennett had three touchdowns after two games this season and scored Sunday for the first time since then. The Bears have a bye Week 8 and return Week 9 at Green Bay on Monday night.

Martellus Bennett looking to get back in end zone

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

(10/17/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett will take the field Week 7 in Washington looking to score in D.C. for the second consecutive game. Bennett went for five grabs for 82 yards and a TD in Washington last year.

Now with the Bears, Bennett, who has 15 catches for 200 yards against Washington over his last five meetings, has caught at least five passes in four of his last five games for Jay Cutler and Chicago. He has three touchdowns, though his last came in a two-TD game back in Week 2 against Minnesota.

Bennett will look to get back into the end zone against a Redskins team allowing the 10th-most Fantasy points per game to opponents at the TE position. That said, they did hold Jason Witten to three grabs for 27 yards last Sunday night.

Still, Bennett has been a consistent pass-catching option for the Bears. He should be looked at as a No. 1 Fantasy tight end for the Week 7 game Sunday.

Martellus Bennett a solid Week 6 start

by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

(10/9/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett will face one of his former teams Week 6 on Thursday at home against the Giants. After scoring three times in the first two weeks of the season, Bennett has been kept out of the end zone in three straight games.

That said, Bennett has 13 catches for 146 yards the last two weeks and has been targeted 17 times by Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.

The Giants are allowing the 10th-most Fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. They've only given up 244 yards to the position, but have allowed four tight end touchdowns.

While Bennett is no sure thing for the Week 6 game, if he is your Fantasy tight end we suggest rolling with him Thursday. He should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy option at his position for the week.

Martellus Bennett will be game-time decision

Martellus Bennett to be held in check?

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(10/3/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett will have his work cut out for him against the Saints.

Bennett has already emerged as a significant threat in the Bears passing game. Bennett already has more receptions and touchdowns than Kellen Davis, the team's starter at the position in 2012. With four more yards, Bennett will surpass Davis' yardage total for the entire season.

While Bennett should pass Davis this week, it could be tough for him to have a breakout game. The Saints have done a good job limiting tight ends thus far. Opposing tight ends have averaged just 2.75 receptions against New Orleans, and are averaging just 31.25 yards per game. Both Tony Gonzalez and Charles Clay were able to score against the Saints, but were held in check with yardage. Like those players, Bennett has emerged as a top playmaker in his offense, and could manage to break free in the end zone.

Bennett has played two games against the Saints, catching 7 balls for 49 yards and 1 touchdown. Only of those games came when Bennett was Jason Witten's backup in Dallas.

Martellus Bennett has solid yardage game

Bennett was targeted 12 times, and hauled in 8 passes. Bennett nearly made a tough catch in the end zone, but the ball popped out once he hit the ground. He continues to be a major threat when the team gets to the red zone.

Bennett will face off against the Saints Week 5.

Martellus Bennett has tough matchup Week 4

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(9/26/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett is facing a tough matchup against the Lions Week 4.

The Lions have been effective against opposing pass catchers, and have kept tight ends out of the end zone through three games. Tight ends have averaged 5 catches and 53 yards against Detroit. Bennett was held in check against the Steelers Week 3, catching just two balls for 10 yards. While he should be in for a more successful game Week 4, he could still be limited.

Martellus Bennett can't get going in Week 3

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(9/23/2013)After catching three touchdowns through the first three games of the season, Bears tight end Martellus Bennett took a step back Sunday night against the Steelers in Week 3.

Bennett was barely involved in the passing game as he was targeted five times. He finished with only two catches for 10 yards in a 40-23 victory. He has 12 catches for 135 yards through three games.

Bennett will be seeking a bounce-back performance in Week 4 at Detroit.

Martellus Bennett ready for SNF

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

(9/22/2013)As expected, Bears tight end Martellus Bennett was officially listed as active for Sunday night's showdown against the Steelers despite having a shoulder injury. He was able to practice in full Friday, and was considered probable leading up to Week 3. He has 10 catches for 125 yards and three touchdowns on 16 targets through two games.

Martellus Bennett too productive to ignore vs. Steelers

Bennett has gotten off to a fantastic start, racking up 125 yards and three touchdowns on 10 catches and 16 targets through two games. The Steelers have been one of the better teams at defending tight ends, and Bennett should know. He was held to three catches for 40 yards last year against the Steelers as a member of the Giants.

Bennett has been heavily involved in the red zone, which makes him a threat to score on a weekly basis. At this point, he's just too productive to ignore in any format. Make sure he's in your Week 3 lineup.

Martellus Bennett receives kudos from quarterback

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(9/16/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett notched his first career two-touchdown game and the winning score Sunday against Minnesota. His performance drew praise from quarterback Jay Cutler, who spoke glowingly of Bennett as both a blocker and pass-catcher.

"He can lock down a defensive end," Cutler told the Chicago Tribune. "He's great at run blocking. Then you see him run routes and you're like, man, we've got to throw him the ball. You kind of have to use him on both avenues there and use him enough in the passing game as a blocker to keep them off balance and then get him some touches."

Bennett is off to the best of his career with 10 catches for 125 yards and three touchdowns. But he is prone to fast starts. He reached the end zone three times in the first three games a year ago, but went the next eight games without one and managed just two more scores the rest of the season.

Martellus Bennett continues emergence as Fantasy tight end

by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

(9/15/2013)Those with a hole at tight end in smaller Fantasy leagues should look hard at Martellus Bennett if they are fortunate enough to still have him available.

Bennett continued his emergence as a premier Fantasy player at that position on Sunday with seven catches for 76 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner for the Bears with 10 seconds remaining. He has racked up three scores in two games.

He will seek to take his momentum and run with it next Sunday night in Pittsburgh against the Steelers.

Bennett's nine targets were good for seven catches, most of them short as you might expect. Assuming the shoulder problem doesn't persist, the burly tight end with some playmaking ability could be worth starting even with the injury and a tough matchup ahead at Pittsburgh in Week 3.

Martellus Bennett looking to build on Week 1

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(9/12/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett is looking to build on a promising Week 1 debut with his new team.

Bennett started out the game on the wrong foot, dropping his first target. But Jay Cutler stuck with the tight end, eventually hitting him in the end zone. Bennett finished the game with just three catches, but received six targets. The Vikings gave up 352 yards through the air in Week 1, so Bennett could potentially look to beat his Week 1 numbers.

Martellus Bennett makes his presence felt

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(9/8/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett caught his first touchdown with his new team Sunday.

Martellus Bennett facing strong matchup against Bengals

by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com

(9/4/2013)Bears tight end Martellus Bennett could have an opportunity to flash his potential Sunday against the Bengals.

The Bengals defense was effective at limiting wide receivers last season, but was unable to do the same with tight ends. Opposing tight ends averaged 60.88 yards against Cincinnati, good for eighth worst in the league. Tight ends were often targeted against the Bengals, and came up with 5.44 catches per game, another high figure.

There was some uncertainty about how much Bennett would be utilized after Jay Cutler failed to target him in the team's first two preseason games, but the tight end laughed off the issue. He finally caught a pass in game three, but had two drops. He's a risky Fantasy play, but could pay off in what looks like a decent matchup.

Martellus Bennett not worried about lack of targets

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(8/21/2013)New Bears tight end Martellus Bennett does not have a catch through two preseason games. In fact, he has not been targeted.

Bennett does not seem concerned. "They don't give out extra checks in the preseason for catches," Bennett said, via ESPN.com.

Coach Marc Trestman told the Sun-Times that several plays were called for Bennett against the Chargers last week, but coverage forced Jay Cutler to look elsewhere.

"I am (looking forward to having more weapons)," Marshall said. "It was tough sledding last year. I think that's why I had to have the (hip) surgery. I had 2-3 guys on me every single play, but bringing in big boy Martellus, I don't think the league really knows how good he is. I didn't know, and that was one of my great friends in the league. So I'm excited to see him, he's going to be awesome this year for us."

Martellus Bennett should be ready to score

ESPN reports that in recent history, Cutler has looked for the tight end near the end zone. In two seasons, Bears tight end Kellen Davis caught only 37 passes, but seven of them went for touchdowns. Backup Matt Spaeth added three touchdowns among 13 receptions.

In 2010, Bears tight end Greg Olsen scored five touchdowns among his 41 receptions. Davis had one that year, bringing the total to 16 touchdowns among 92 receptions for Bears tight ends over the past three seasons.

Bennett doing well early on

by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer

(4/22/2013)The Chicago Sun-Times reports that new Bears tight end Martellus Bennett is making a good impression early on. Hes a student, Bears tight end coach Andy Bischoff said. Hes writing everything down. Hes asking questions. He wants to be coached. Really, in every possible way, hes been a joy." Bennett signed a four-year deal to be the versatile, pass-catching threat the Bears didnt have at tight end the last two seasons. Hes often involved in suggestions and mentorship in the right way," Bischoff said. Hes not overstepping the guidelines of a coach, but really just reinforcing the player. Hes been a leader. He wants to be the leader of that group. Hes been doing it quietly. The personality comes out in non-football-related deals. Hes been wonderful."

Bennett to 'create stress'

by Dave Richard | Senior Fantasy Writer

(3/13/2013)When the Bears introduced their assistant coaches, tight ends coach Andy Bischoff made it a point to describe what he wanted out of his starter -- a do-it-all guy who is a receiver first. "We need a tight end that can threaten the defense. We need a tight end that can create stress in the middle of the field or wherever we place him because we're going to line him up next to the tackle," Bischoff said per ESPN. "We're going to line him up outside the numbers. We're going to line up in the backfield, and we're going to expect the defense to figure it out. So we need a receiver who can catch the ball, and we need a receiver who can block enough to be lined up in the backfield if we put him there. The days of the tight end that blocked and ran flat routes in this league are coming to an end. The guys that just run 3-yard flat routes, that's not going to do anything for you."

Bennett set career-highs with 55 receptions for 626 yards and five touchdowns last year. "They have other priorities that come before little ole me," he wrote in a series to Tweets. "Im just a small piece of what theyre trying to do there. Ive come to the conclusion that we are just temporary investments to the owners. Value money and growth over players. Just like any business. Employees arent as valuable as we use to be. Everyone needs a job. Lol."

Bucs, Giants both after Bennett?

by Jamey Eisenberg | Senior Fantasy Writer

(2/8/2013)The Tampa Tribune speculates the Buccaneers could attempt to sign free agent tight end Martellus Bennett this offseason. The idea would be for him to not only start at tight end but also create a package deal for him and his brother, defensive end Michael Bennett, to play together in Tampa Bay. On the same day, ESPN reported the Giants should have interest in re-signing Bennett. The big guy set career-highs with 55 receptions for 626 yards and five touchdowns last year.
